Actually one other thing .. .. ..
GA pilots are a community - through out Europe I might add
.. .. we pay for EASA, we pay for AOPA, we pay the regulator and those that are meant to represent us, but they dont.
Where is the petition from AOPA to every pilot in Europe asking whether they support these changes? Where is the petition from AOPA standing up for the rights to keep our life time licenses? Where is the consultation? Where is the regulatory impact assessment. Where are the pilots prepared to stand up?
Bose (aka the Princess) warned us, months ago, and yet (and I did rejoin AOPA) I have received no petitions from them - in fact I have had nothing asking for by views.
Petitions, the voice of the people change policy.
These organisations are utterly useless.
I have to say it would not happen in America - I am a memebr of AOPA US as well and I can tell you how hard they campaign for their members.
IO540 - well said, I am glad some one else has a bit of passion about what is taking place.
